Note: the maximum reference level of different machine models may be different, please refer to the
data manual specifically.
7.2.3.2 Attenuator
Set the value for the internal attenuator of the RF input. So that the large signal can be low distortion
and the small signal can pass through the mixer with low noise.
Ref <= ATT - PA - 20dBm, where ATT = Attenuation value, PA = Preamplifier value
Input attenuation can be set up to auto or manual mode.
● Auto mode: the attenuation value is automatically adjusted according to the state of preamplifier
and the current reference level.
● The maximum input attenuation can be set to 31 dB. When the set parameters do not meet the
above formula, you can adjust the reference level.

7.2.3.3 RF Preamp
Control the state of the internal preamplifier (PA) located in the RF input signal path. When the signal-
under-measurement is small, turning on the preamplifier can reduce the displayed noise level and aid
distinguishing small signals from the noise.
